CardioSource Plus, the American College of Cardiology's educational resource library, is now available via Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library. CardioSource Plus offers the GW community access to the ACC's rich selection of cardiology information including self-assessment programs, meetings on demand, and Heart Songs.
Users can access CardioSource Plus from on- and off-campus locations. To access Heart Songs and to track your individual progress in self-assessment programs, access CardioSource Plus via Himmelfarb Library and then create an individual login and password. CardioSource Plus is linked from the Library's Databases webpage.
If you have any questions regarding access to CardioSource Plus, please contact Laura Abate (leabate@gwu.edu).
Thank you so much- that worked! It's really a great resource; much better than the other one I was using.
I'm a student in the NP program and am trying to access Heart Songs. I went in through the Himmelfarb link and registered but when I clicked on Heart Songs for Instutions I got the message "the page you are trying to access is no longer available"- do you know why?
I've heard about this type of issue with CardioSource from a couple of other users. So far, I've been able to get folks in, but as you found, the website doesn't always perform as expected!
Try this:
1. Access CardioSource Plus
2. In the upper right (just above 'Practice Management', select 'Sign In'.
3. Sign in using your personal username/password. Note: this page also allows new user registrations, but there is a login area for existing accounts in the upper left area.
4. Access this link again and you should be able to get into Heart Sounds: http://proxygw.wrlc.org/login?url=http://www.cardiosource.org/Lifelong-Learning-and-MOC/Resources/CS-Plus-for-Subscribers.aspx
Please let me know if this works - and especially if it doesn't!
